rachael ray, seaplanes, and a strange mentor...

I'm the king of the world, on a boat like Leo
If you're on the shore, then you're sho' not me-oh

Friends and family have asked why a student would come all the way from France to the remote mountains of northern New York to study under me for 3 months. But I ask you after looking at his photo above, who wouldn't want to mentor with me?

A few more of Jean-Charles photos below. Today we assisted my father who was being filmed for the Rachael Ray Vacations show on the Food Network (airs next spring). My pops has a luxury guided wilderness gig where he pampers his (wealthy) campers with all the necessities and gourmet meals by renowned local chefs. We assisted for the day.
